Easy to distinguish the two. Last year we tanked like crazy and other years we have only tanked after DL/ASB. Its like super apparent vased on record alone.
Or so I thought.
Hardy isn’t the guy for this job. It isn’t working
- Thread starter Roy_McAvoy
- Start date
Or so I thought.

I already said it twice and I will say it again. Hardy was the reason Brice wasn't playing well this season. All of our young players have taken a step back this season except for George, which validates OP's point. Brice last season had way better numbers than Svi and was absolutely on fire the first two games to start the season. But he wasn't given the trust and leeway to do what he does best and got benched by Hardy whenever he made a mistake, rather than letting the kid play through it. If a young plager was benched immediately after a mistake, how could you expect him to learn from it and correct it? And how motivated will you be to learn from your mistakes when you saw the coach basically giving a free pass to Svi who got to stay in and play after making mistakes again and again?
And you kinda explain the bias yourself (sort of). My theory is that Svi received the preferential treatment because he is Ukrainian. There is a reason no one talks about AK here any more despite being a fan favorites for many years. Even Dwill and Booz got to have their moments since they retire.

So how many Ws you think Hardy will get us this year by playing Svi and his so-called “system”? 20? 25?
Play harder......for te tank
Quin Snyder being praised for NAW is kind of ridiculous when Hardy is the coach that began NAW's rise and gave everyone the blueprint on how to develop him.
AK was literally just on the Jazz broadcast...
The idea that Will Hardy is weighing world politics in his rotation is crazy talk.

And Filipowski is better this season.
Anyone who expected Flip to play at the level he did to end the season must have just started watching the NBA last year. Everyone dominates end of season because NBA teams do not care about the end of season games. Flip is at a higher level now than he was this time last year.
And did y'all not see what Walker was doing this season before the injury?

Svi is a solid rotation player who has two more years left on a minimum contract. The reality is that he likely has a longer and more productive future for the competing version of the Utah Jazz than Brice does. I know some people can't wrap their heads around that because drafted rookie contract players HAVE to be the future, but blindly following that logic will lead to negative outcomes.
Players can improve in their late 20s after having relatively low impact careers and become something, it's not unheard of

Oh okay, so maybe Hardy is just a bad coach then. Ty Corbin 2.0. No reason to think logic when it comes to bad coaching. Like we will never know why Nico traded Luca. Let's just call it bad GMing.

So show me where Svi has improved as a player. I'm all ears. I think you heard me when I said this isn't even his best season. He had better numbers on the 22 win OKC and 27 win Charlotte, then got immediately released the following season. The reality is his future isn't with a competing version of the Jazz. That future may not even come any time soon. Even if it comes prior to the expiration of his contract, rest assured he will not have anything to do with it. And quite possibly, neither will Hardy.
Ok bud. I get you are on your negative posting BS so I'll just let you talk to yourself.

Hilariously stupid theory
I didn't like the Hardy hire, but he acquired a dumper fire.
The lack of defensive rotations is what drives me crazy. Teams have been feasting from 3 with wide open warm up shots. Talent is a factor, but this is far beyond that.
I'd also like to see a lot more off ball movement and paint cuts. What they run is so predictable.

More off ball? The Jazz run one of the most complex off-ball offenses in the NBA. Y'all just make stuff up to complain about sometimes

You have to justify the stupid decision with stupid theory sometimes. Just like those folks trying to justify the Luka trade.
